ONION BULB

I won't shed a tear with this onion no I won't
I'll fight it like at the battlefront
Hurtful it might be this I know,
But I'll pass this test and this I'll show
I'll close my eyes and pretend it's clay,
And when "they" ask I'll say I'm okay
I'm almost done you see,
I didn't shed a tear I took it out on me
And Even though the cost was pain,
I cut the onion all the same
